For oily and shiny skin, skincare should regulate excess sebum, counteract clogged pores and at the same time respect the skin barrier. Aggressive degreasing is not advisable, as it can additionally irritate or dehydrate the skin.

Active ingredients such as niacinamide, salicylic acid, Azeloglicina® and retinoids are particularly relevant.

The Purifying Power Serum is a key product in this context: Azeloglicina® supports the regulation of excess sebum, while niacinamide can contribute to a more balanced-looking complexion.

For daily cleansing, Foam Intense and Tonic Intense are also suitable.

When the face becomes shiny quickly, the skin usually produces a comparatively high amount of sebum. This particularly often affects the forehead, nose and chin—the so-called T-zone.

Increased sebum production can be genetic, influenced by hormones or become more noticeable in heat and high humidity. Unsuitable or very rich skincare can also make the skin feel oilier.

What is important: Shiny skin is not automatically well moisturized. Oily skin can also be dehydrated at the same time.

Targeted skincare should therefore not only mattify but also regulate sebum, clarify pores and provide sufficient moisture.

A good serum for oily skin should be formulated as lightly as possible and contain active ingredients that specifically address excess sebum and an uneven-looking complexion.

The Purifying Power Serum combines Azeloglicina® with niacinamide, making it particularly suitable for oily, shiny or blemish-prone skin.

Azeloglicina® supports the regulation of sebum production and counteracts keratinized buildup. Niacinamide complements the formulation while also supporting the skin barrier.

The Purifying Power Serum is therefore particularly useful for an oily T-zone or when blemishes occur at the same time.

Yes. Niacinamide is one of the most interesting active ingredients for oily skin, as it can help balance sebum production while supporting the skin barrier.

This can make the skin appear less shiny and more balanced overall in the long term.

In the Purifying Power Serum, niacinamide is combined with Azeloglicina®. This combination is particularly interesting for excess sebum, clogged pores and oily shine.

Yes. Salicylic acid is lipophilic and is therefore particularly suitable for oily, clogged and blemish-prone skin.

It can help loosen excess sebum and keratinized skin cells in the follicular areas. This can make pores appear clearer and the overall complexion more refined.

At DOC BERGER EFFECT, salicylic acid is included, among other products, in Foam Intense, Tonic Intense and Fruit Acid Peeling.

Retinol can be useful for oily, shiny skin prone to clogged pores. Retinoids support natural skin renewal and can help counteract keratinized buildup and clogged pores in the long term.

Retinol Sensitive is suitable for beginners or more sensitive skin. Those who already tolerate retinoids well can use Retinol Intense.

Retinol is therefore not a classic “mattifier”, but it can contribute to a more even-looking and clearer skin texture in the long term.

An oily T-zone mainly affects the forehead, nose and chin. Sebum production in these areas is often higher than on the cheeks.

It makes sense to tailor skincare specifically to the different areas of the face. Foam Intense and Tonic Intense help remove excess sebum and residues.

The Purifying Power Serum can then be applied specifically to the areas that are shinier.

An oily T-zone combined with normal or dry cheeks can also indicate combination skin. In this case, the entire face should not be excessively degreased unnecessarily.

Yes. Oily skin can be dehydrated at the same time. Sebum and moisture are two different factors.

The skin can produce a great deal of sebum while still containing too little water. Typical signs are an oily shine together with a feeling of tightness or fine dehydration lines.

Skincare for oily shine should therefore not work solely by degreasing. A lightweight, well-tolerated supply of moisture is just as important.

The Hyper Hyaluron Serum can be added when there is also a lack of moisture, without making the skincare feel unnecessarily heavy.

Good mattifying facial skincare should not only remove oil from the skin’s surface in the short term, but also balance sebum production over the long term while protecting the skin barrier.

A useful combination includes:

• gentle but thorough cleansing
• salicylic acid and AHAs to clarify pores
• niacinamide and Azeloglicina® to regulate sebum
• lightweight moisturizing skincare
• non-comedogenic sun protection

In the morning, the routine can be completed with Four Seasons Day Cream SPF 50+. Oily skin also needs daily UV protection.

A consistent skincare routine for oily shine should regulate sebum, clarify pores and at the same time provide sufficient care for the skin.

The key is not to degrease the skin as strongly as possible, but to regulate excess sebum over the long term while keeping the skin barrier intact.
